"This will be the best investment you make. The MotherWorthy retreat healed a part of my soul that I didn't believe could be put back together. I felt a deep soul cleanse from being with a group of women I'd grown to love. This retreat solidified that sisterhood."
This retreat combines community, connection, and lots of down time sprinkled with heart-led offerings + practices.
When we really slow down into deep time, we can finally hear whispers from within that go unnoticed when we're moving fast and highly scheduled.
• Rest
• Being cooked for
• Time in nature

Bend of Ivy itself is magical, nestled in the Blue Ridge Mountains, and offers amazing views of the surrounding area.
The tallest peak east of the Mississippi, Mount Mitchell, can easily be seen from the property. In addition to mountain views, there are also charming spots to sit and relax such as near the river bank, pond, fire pit, and more.
Bend of Ivy also has a number of meandering trails that are well maintained and great for walking and taking in nature.
Take a tour of Bend of Ivy!
Attendees will be housed with their specific MotherWorthy groups.
And also, this is a perfect opportunity to meet other awesome women doing this work as well, who share your language and potentially live close to you.

Vaccination is required to attend. I hope you will understand my tricky positioning on this, as I respect both sides of this very personal decision.
My goal is to have this retreat feel as normal as possible, without the need for masks and social distancing, and the only way I can provide that is to require that attendees have been vaccinated.
After two years of constant caretaking and worry of the unknown, come connect with yourself and other likeminded mamas at this nurturing and awakening retreat.
Have we mentioned that you will be cooked for the entire time?!
Our chef, Dava Melton, cooks “Good Natured Foods,” which refers to the natural bounty that resonates from the Earth, preparing food with caring hands, and infusing meals with comfort and delicious consistency.
Dava also specializes in gluten free cooking and baking, and provides animal protein, vegetarian, vegan and gluten free delights at each meal. Yes, she's a miracle worker.
KIND WORDS ABOUT PAST RETREATS
REFUND POLICY
Naturally, no one books with the intention of cancelling or postponing their retreat, but unexpected things do happen, so I strongly encourage you to purchase travel insurance if you have concerns. I cannot offer any refund at all unless the retreat sells out, and there is someone to take your spot financially. I wish I could compensate people for unforeseen circumstances, but I have incurred expenses that cannot be refunded.
Thank you for your understanding!

A lot! Part of the magic of this retreat is being unscheduled for much of the time. There will also be heart-led offerings and practices to deepen connection, get us in our bodies, and fuel our soul fires. More details to come!
How much physical activity is required?
This is completely up to you. There will be opportunities for walks and meandering beside the river, and you are welcome to choose whichever fits your desired level of activity - or forgo it entirely.
I have dietary needs. Can those be accommodated?
Most likely, yes. Our chef is well-versed in dietary needs and can accommodate meat eaters, and vegetarians and vegans.
